Gameweek 2 Transfers

RVP apparently fit for the Sunderland game, anyone here have him in their team?

Scorpion Sting

As with Aguero, I think I'll wait a while before I contemplate getting RVP in. They have a habit of breaking down every so often.

£12.5m is a hefty price alright, out of interest, if players are injured do their prices go down over time or is it purely performance based?

The price of players with who are flagged don't go down as fast as uninjured players

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't even in the squad heading up at all. At most he'll get 20 minutes, although a goal in those 20 would spice things up like Aguero last week

Yes injured players also go down in price although the threshold is much higher for injured players, think it's 2.5 times the amount of transfers out required for a fall.

In Exile

I think I'm going to hold steady and bank my transfer for the week.

I had 54 point at the weekend.

Team is

De Gea, Mannone

Cahill, Wilson, Moore, Taylor, Davies

Ramsey, Sterling, Cabella, Young, Lamela

Costa, Rooney, Bojan.


I will have changes to make eventually, as I took a number of gambles and not all will pay off. I'm tempted to give Lamela another couple of weeks. Same with Davies. Rose wasn't great at the weekend and I think Davies will take over soon.

Taylor struggled for Swansea, but with such a low ownership, I'll wait another week.

I like Cabella, but if DeJong moves into an attacking role then it is a straight swap.


I don't understand peoples urgency to get rid of Mata. A great run of fixtures ahead, with RVP to return and Welbeck not too far away either.
Swansea had 2 months to come up with a tactical plan to deal with Utd. If I had him, I'd sit pretty for a couple of weeks before pulling the trigger on swapping him

Whats your thoughts on keeping filipe luis in the team for this week? Will he start? If I sub him out I will have to make 2 subs this week.

The excuses just keep getting better and better

I agree with you on De Jong tho! I will be putting him in for Siggy in a couple of weeks when he is back

If your other subs are pretty solid then I would just stick with him. Decent chance of him playing I would say (not that I'm actually basing that on any solid evidence).

It's always a risk when you consider a 4 point hit for a defender as 9 times out of 10 they will need a clean sheet to justify it. I would think that Luis will eventually become first choice LB but he may have to bide his time a little longer, as I see it the rest of the back three is settled now and Azpil seems to be popular with Mourinho. I wouldn't want Luis in my team right now but this weekend I would say Chelsea are the only team which are odds on not to concede.

It's Ivanovic that's most at risk with the introduction of Luis. Azpilicueta is natural in right back and that's where he will play once Luis is nailed down as a starter. Ivanovic will be left to compete for the central roles

Tommy54

I'm happy with having either coleman or baines on the pitch instead of Luis.

roryc

Pretty sure I won't be making any transfers this week. Having two FT's this early in the season is a massive bonus.

Leaning the same way myself. No major issues with my team and nobody other than sterling jumping out at me. Delighted with my start, actually.

Swiper the fox

Looking at my team now with three relatively expensive defenders (Terry, Caulker and Lovren) and two 4m men (Wisdom and Moore) I don't have a solid three to send out this week. Terry is a banker and I'll probably play Caulker almost every week due to his goal threat. I'm thinking of ditching Lovren . Swansea have the standout fixtures if you exclude Chelsea on week 4. I'm guessing none of the 4.5m men are safe now. Rangel and Williams look solid choices though right?? Fernandez may not make this weeend otherwise he could have tempted me.
Anyone else care to suggest an alternative (Colocinni??)

Southampton have great fixtures coming up, would you do Lovren to Clyne? Would give you an extra .5m to play with too.

Southampton Stoke Newcastle all have nice fixtures for the next 8 or so weeks.

I have the same predicament myself.

My five defenders are Terry, van Aaholt, Caulker, Moore & Coloccini. Terry of course will play and Moore will be benched so that leaves me with a choice of two of:

Coloccini (away to Villa)
van Aaholt (home to United)
Caulker (away to Spurs)

Does anyone have clean sheet odds? No access to the ills of betting sites here in work

My plan was to field Coloccini and Caulker but then that means I am benching van Aaaholt who is at home. Caulker I'd be playing hoping for attacking returns more than a clean sheet.

Good call, for some reason I had it in my head that Clyne had gone up .1m this week. My other problem with Clyne though is that what are the chances of him scoring again in the next few games:p. Is Yoshida a cert to keep his position there for 4.5m??

Mr.Prodston

Mr.Prodston wrote: »

I had him last week on the bench and the rest of my defenders are Caulker, Collocini, Van Aanholt and Bardsley with De Gea in goal and I'm happy enough with them for now

Newc are 3.30

QPR are 7.00

southamton signed florin gardos last week he is a centre back if he gets in the team you will think YOSHIDA went with him;)

Similar situation with similar players. Have to choose three from van A, Caulker, Wilson, Coloccini and Hutton.

I think Hutton will be the definite. Probably Coloccini too and then will probably go with Caulker for the same reasons as you.

I'd expect United will score against Sunderland bad as they are. And while Hull away isn't the hardest fixtures Stoke will face their away form was poor enough last year if I recall.

Have I got the right three?

kennyb3

Having sworn all week I'd bank I'm getting tempted by a dzeko to bony - should possibly hold dzeko for next 2 then swap? Bonys next 6 or so of bony s fixtures are great. Would obviously hold as long as possible this week if doing it with the transfer window open

the whole year inn

uniteds blackett whats his chance of getting game time this week,and any update on alex bruce?Want to bank transfers for next week,had a solid 63 and happy enough,but want vp next week if he gets some minutes this week.

Eric Lamela with 2 assists in Spurs' Europa League match.

If he starts kinda centrally or right-ish he could make hay against Dunne on the left of the 3 man defence. It was either Monday Night Football or Goals on Sunday but there was analysis of how much Dunne wasn't suited there, or that any of the QPR's 3 centrebacks were really adept on the left or right.

Made me raise questions over having Caulker a little too

thewools

De Jong (Newcastle) for Snodgrass perhaps!

Not too confident that he will start this weekend but if he does I reckon he will definitly score attacking points...

Guffy

So will mario increase or reduce sturridge's value?

gufc21 wrote: »

He shouldn't have any direct affect on points potential i would say. His cash value will be affected as i can see people splitting their pool forward coverage between sturridge and balotelli, especially if balotelli gets a few goals early on.

Gunslinger99

Looking for advice on a defender lads - have DDG; Azpi ; Chambers ; Pieters ; Taylor & R Dunne any help greatly appreciated cheers

I'm beginning to wonder was Caulker a good choice but then he has great fixtures and a terrific goal scoring record.

He had a header cleared off the line at the weekend.

I'd expect fab to outscore yaya over the course of the season and that's before giving you an extra 2 million.

I think youre mad to have yaya in the first instance.

Looking at mata to silva now will wait for team news tomorrow.

FHFC

To rephrase my defenders question.....

Caulker (Spurs A)
or
Wilson (Hull A)

Hull lacking in the strikeforce department and off the back of a trip to Belgium.

Caulker a goal threat.

Close call. Hopefully Wilson keeps his place too.

Wilson probably a 1 in 10 chance of Caulker scoring so in that case go with the team most likely to keep a clean sheet.

Looking at all this caulker will probably be next out of my team

It's a max 4 point bonus, the cost of a transfer.

Every point counts but I wouldn't see that as "massive" in the grand scheme of things, particularly if someone has had a good start.

I finished in the top 2k in the world last year and have had a much better start this year so I'm willing to take more risks. Go hard or go home!

In a jiffy here...last week I put sigg on bench cause I thot utd would rule at OT being lvgs first game and lost out on some good points..

This week shd I play mutch (away to spurs) or fletcher (home to utd)..cant get my mind around this one.. 352 or 343 formation

Fletcher all the way. Man Utd looked like they would concede on every Swansea attack last week. They won't have improved by much in a week.
I could have put a pun in there but it's too early for that.

I'm feeling over confident this week. That is never a good sign, the weeks you expect to do well are usually total fails. Here's hoping the City v Liverpool game gets called off...
